Terry Francona Opens Up About Leaving The Cleveland Guardians

When Terry Francona stepped down as the Cleveland Guardians manager, many analysts, fans, and players predicted that Cooperstown would be his next stop.

While Tito will certainly be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame at some point in the future, he is making one last pitstop as the next manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

Francona is a baseball lifer, so seeing him return as the skipper of a team isn't too surprising.

However, given that his health was one of the reasons Tito left the Guardians just a year ago, it is slightly shocking to see him get right back in the game so quickly.

The Athletic's Jayson Stark recently interviewed Tito, and he discussed his time in Cleveland, his year off from the game, and his new chapter starting in Cincinnati.
